Seven Episcopal Bishops File Amicus Brief Against Diocese, Claim “Hierarchy Stops With Me”

Dear Friends in Christ,

Many of you have heard that seven bishops (two retired and five active) have filed an amicus brief in support of Bishop Iker’s action currently before the Texas Supreme Court. This saddens us all for multiple reasons.

Please know that the leadership in the Diocese is exploring an appropriate response to such a shameful action by these members of the House of Bishops.

Also, please continue to remember all parties in prayer as we continue to work toward a successful resolution.

Yours in Christ,
The Rev’d David A. Madison
President, Standing Committee
